Kenosha police shoots black man multiple times in his back in front of his children, declares curfew

Good point that cop never made an attempt to stop him from opening the door.

 

Yeah, he didn't want to talk to the cops, that is why he was walking away, they had not detained him....had no cause....and shot him in the back.

Just be consistent - and not hypocritical.

Here's the "local townspeople" ,a teenager from a different state, hopped up on social media garbage, who committed first degree murder

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Illinois police arrested a juvenile Wednesday after two people were shot to death during another night of Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Commander Norman Johnson of the Antioch Police Department said the suspect — a young man whose name was not released because he is under 18 — was arrested on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide.

Antioch is about 15 miles from Kenosha, which has seen three straight nights of unrest since the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake.


Two people were killed Tuesday night in a possible vigilante attack carried out by a young white man who was caught on cellphone video opening fire in the middle of the street with a semi-automatic rifle.​

@tinman police your own

 

Your service and protection at work:



Police encouraging militia groups, who then go out and kill people

 

This story is nuts. 17 year old straps up and goes out to kill people and the police are high fiving him.

 

Police need all the help they can get when they are stoned to near death, blinded by green lasers and firebombed while in buildings or cars ...I’m positive the 17 yo kid did not set out to kill people but there is a desire to counter the burn, loot, and mayhem protestors...if their mob mentality works then a mob mentality to counter that is understandable

we don’t know why the first guy was shot, maybe he had a melee type weapon and threatened the kid with bodily harm and the kid feared for his life at that moment ...it did appear the kid called the police and was actually walking in the direction of the police, but the mob injustice wanted to pommel him with skateboards, fists and kicks...so he reacted the same I would have in that situation which was taking out the two main threats then proceeding to walk towards the police...if he set out to kill people he had multiple opportunities...these protestors are pushing things and this won’t be the last, I predict more dead bodies hitting the floor

 

this is a lie, he states in an interview he was there to protect citizens from looting/burning, he even calls for a medic for someone



The video shows clear self defense. After the mob knocks him down, one man tries to crush his skull with a skateboard, another comes at him with a pistol. There is also video of someone throwing a molotov cocktail at him as he is fleeing.

 

Maybe a lasso would have worked better in this case.

 

Don't the police watch TV?

Why is this still happening?

 

I don't think there's anything that illustrates the systemic racism of American policing better than cops unloading a barrage of bullets into the back of a guy walking to his car than those same Department's cops, 72 hours later, high fiving white teenagers with AR-15's out to kill people...who then go out and do exactly what they had planned to do.

 

@Commodore thank you for posting the follow up videos much to the chagrin of our Democrat friends ..it helps clear the picture

 

Apparently he was ATTACKED because he had just shot someone in the face.......because that looks like self defense - but he should never been allowed to be there in the first place....if the police did their job a 17 year old is not allowed to open carry in Wisconsin, they should have stopped him at the beginning.

This will get uglier as both sides arm themselves and start shooting. Just imagine if Guns were banned they would have simply had bloody noses.....

If he shot someone prior to the attack he is guilty of murder.

Blake could be an absolute scumbag who molested children that isn't the point of why situations like this are troubling.

A frequent argument brought up in these situations are going after the history of the victim. In George Floyd's case it was that he was on drugs and that he been convicted of armed robbery. None of that though matters to the particular situation because POLICE AREN'T THERE TO ADMINISTER PUNISHMENT.

Dylan Roof was a horrible person who shot 9 people. He was taken alive and I'm not upset that they did. Capturing Roof wasn't about exacting punishment on him. The LEO isn't judge, jury or executioner. If they were none of us safe.

The goal of an arrest should be take the suspect alive so they can go through the Justice System. Not administer justice on the scene.

 

This is just making things more dangerous especially for the 17 year old. I'm saying this a civilian who did go out and patrol my neighborhood. I was very cognizant that there were a lot of risk and as such I did so with abundant precaution.

What you're advocating for is what happened in Belfast during the troubles where Protestant paramilitaries were fighting the IRA and the RUC (Belfast police) tacitly cooperated with the Protestant paramilitaries. That led to far more death and put pretty much everyone in Belfast as the RUC couldn't be trusted and were even more targeted by the IRA.

 

I agree with you a lot here but if guns were banned and police defunded, then mob injustice would only be more emboldened imo , and yes the 17 yo should not have been with a weapon there due to his age but otherwise should be allowed to be there ...a lot of these clashes are teens it seems . Grownups are too old for that chit plus busy working lol

 

Not singling you out here, but this waffling attitude about citizens' arrest among conservatives really bothers me.

If you have no problem with what happened to Ahmaud Arbery (an unarmed person supposedly trespassing), then that group of people trying to subdue Rittenhouse (a heavily armed person who killed someone in plain sight) should not bother you in the slightest.

 

I agree . I wasn’t initially aware it was a 17 yo. I appreciate the desire to be apart of a counter protest force because the actual protestors are really dangerous rioters in most cases with nothing better to do but he should have been of age or armed with something more melee type similar to the protestors/rioters

 

Why do you defend shooting black people so hard?

 

If police need help from an untrained 17 year old illegally carrying a fire arm, then they SUCK at being police.

This entire POST is a lie - the entire thing is 100% missing the context or what started him being attacked, he had just shot someone in the face and killed them, which was why, RIGHTFULLY he was attacked.

The rest looks like self defense, but the problem is he had just murdered a protester before he was attacked.
